Can you do this.

int i = (int)Console::Readline();

or

string* i = Console::ReadLine();
int x;
x = (int)i;

Lit,

You can't cast from string to int ;-) You have to convert it using
Convert::ToInt32(),
Int32::Parse(), Int32::TryParse() static methods.

System::String^ str = Console::ReadLine();

int x = Convert::ToInt32(str);
// or
int y = Int32::Parse(str);
// or

int z;
if (Int32::TryParse(str, z))
{
// ok you can use it
}
else
{
Console::WriteLine(
String::Format(L"'{0}' is not a valid number", str));
}

hope this helps

You have to Convert.ToInt32 or use Int32.TryParse to convert text to int.
